Barry is participating in a nutrition study in which he must follow a prescribed diet and have his blood tested regularly. On one occasion, his test results indicate low levels of insulin, elevated levels of glucagon, and epinephrine and moderate levels of cortisol and growth hormone. What would you expect his levels of glucose, ketones, and fatty acids to be? Explain the rationale behind your answers.

Please comment on this statement about obesity: Certain things (foods, amount of stress or sleep, particular chemicals) “alter the biochemistry of fat storage and fat expenditure, tilting the body’s system in favor of fat storage,” (5). This is a cause because if your biochemistry makes it easier for you to store fat cells then you will store fat cells no matter how much “self control” you have. I'm not really sure what could be done about this as many different factors including ones that you have no control over can alter your body’s chemistry to be more prone to weight gain.
